Lazy Dungeon Master
I'll get some slaves.
When you show your face to the Adventurer Guild, your usual receptionist...... is that Mr. Siliana? was sitting at the counter.
The gatekeeper said he was worried about us...
"... chip, where have you been so far"
That's not my concern, is it?
Again, you didn't like it. No, maybe this is the one called Tundele.
"Oh, you had some errands outside..."
"So, what's going on? We haven't had a dungeon request in the F-ranks for a while, have we?
By the way, it looks like Mr. Huck cleared his request just before the dungeon battle.
Can you also report the request received in Tsea as completed in Teito? Or maybe it's the unscrupulous thing that made you say things to power, but he reported 'no anomalies' as per the pre-meeting, you could afford it in time.
"Oh, speaking of which, what happened to the nomination request?
"... I'm staying. G-rank request, do you accept?
"Please...... don't you know that and where they sell slaves?
An introduction to the Adventurer Guild would give you some relief. Since few adventurers seem to use slaves,
You must know a good place.
"... What's the use?
"That's a lot. You should have experience and be smart...... oh, you have to be a woman"
This is an order from Mr. Haku, and he's strictly saying no men.
... The truth is I don't want to come near Locco either.
Well, if it's the intention of the sponsor, I have to comply. Yes, by no means do I want to make a harem. I'm not interested at all in sake pond meat groves or anything. You're not interested in legged slaves or anything. I want to pepper. Oops, it leaked.
"... right, 'Grafa Slaver' would be good. I don't want to introduce you to them. You should go after the evening."
"Thanks for that. I'm going to clean the toilet."
Chip, I heard the tongue, but never mind, I decide to go.
The reward for the nomination request is 20 copper coins combined.
Well, I brought you a hundred silver coins this time, so it's a lot of gold, but you got nominated because of it. Clean it up with a "purification" and while Nik is waiting in the toilet, I'll take a nap in the park... not gather information. I got the information that "Heavenly Pillow" is the best on the bench.
I ordered Cloth Golem to wake up when the time came this time, so I wasn't late.
When the two toilets are cleaned, it's time for the evening, just in time.
The guild will be crowded by now, so let's buy a slave and then report on completing the request.
That's why I even came to the Grafa slave trader.... Yeah, that's a pretty normal building.
"... it's very different from where I was"
Also, there was a yami slaver in the slam, and Nik seemed to be sold there.
... Well, he was a slave that bandits could buy, and that's it.
I can't help standing in front of the building, so I take Nik in.
Well, it's time to shop.

"Welcome. What can I do for you today?
"Yeah, I want a slave."
"Yes, but there are no slaves we can't afford."
I said I was here with an introduction to the guild, and the manager Grafa himself greeted me with a sales smile.
He sounds like a decent merchant, but I guess so because he actually has shops all over town.
"So, what kind of slave do you want?
"Hmm, first of all, my legs are beautiful, I'm a woman... I like the smart guy because I'm thinking about different uses"
"I see.... oh how about a budget?
"Hmm, I don't know the market before then. By the way, how much do you think it's this guy?
Let me see Nik and see how much it costs.
Nik stretches his spine diligently to make the assessment a little higher.
"... right, I'm an animal man, but it looks well maintained and good... Hmm, can you read the letters? Can you write? What's the calculation? Do you have the skills?
"You can read, write, and calculate as long as they are simple, skills are not…"
For once, that's what I asked Nik to do.
The truth is, I remember junior magic all the way to [storage], one attribute at a time. If I said that, the price would jump and it wouldn't help.
I reminded him of 99 the other day about the calculations.
The slave trader is a strange hand sign to put his fingers up or break his hands...... no, I wonder if he's calculating with his hands. They don't simply break their fingers. They also stand halfway. I eventually put up one pinky finger on my left hand and it looks like I'm done calculating the price.
(I asked, it's called a finger calculation, representing one copper coin, ten, one silver coin, ten, one gold coin in order from the thumb, and expressing each of them 0-9 in combination with the way the finger is raised on the right hand, it seems like a merchant's skill in a calculation method such as using the finger as an Abacus. You think it's a common sight for an apprentice to have his fingers on trying to remember this)
"If so... we have one gold coin, right? It would be for nobles and merchants."
... gold, goods? Um, as 100 yen a piece of copper coin, it's 100 times 100 yen, so... a million yen?!
That's amazing. You picked it up, maybe it's cheap if you think of it as the price of each person...
"If this were human, ten gold coins wouldn't be enough. If you're so adorable, you'll expect it in the future. What do you say we pick it up with one gold coin, if you don't mind? You can put a little more on anything."
"No, because my Nik is not willing to sell it"
"Ho... seemingly"
I can reassert Nik's worth, and I'll stroke Nik's head and give him a compliment.
The manager who saw it looked a little impressed.
"Um, unfortunately, there may not be a slave in our current inventory that would be suitable for your glasses. I was just wondering if the year would turn out to be what I went to... since I was young and eighteen, and so on. It's not like there's a younger one, but I was wondering if it's still worth introducing..."
"No, that's fine because I don't want a child's slave"
Oh, what? Do I look so lollicon?
"Oh, that's rude. Now let's talk a little bit more and pack the terms. We'd also like to ask you for the most detailed application possible."
"Right.... First of all, I don't need skills because I use them for chores. She's a woman, about her age. It's good to be as cheap as possible. The budget is about 90 silver coins max."
"And it would be nice if my legs were beautiful."
You seem to remember me. This manager, I'll do it.
"Hmm, were you hoping for a chore slave? If cheap is a good idea, even if it's not human… Yes, let's look at a few candidates."
That said the manager took off his seat and will be back in a while.
Four women had been brought beside them. There's a collar, so you'd be a slave.... Yeah, you've got quite a few nappies. Excellent.
"Hmm, did you like it? … Silver coins will be 80, 100, 90 and 60."
... I said I had a budget of 90. Around mixing things up a little expensive, I'm a merchant. I answered slightly less than the budget in anticipation of that, but that's what it felt like to be foreseen.
So, from eighty bear-eared beasts, hairy fox-eared beasts, unstoppable elves, ordinary humans, had become. He's always looking at me like he sees me.
"Hmm? Why are those 60 over there so cheap? Besides... from what I've seen, he looks like a human being."
"Oh, uh, what do you call that... say, I hope it's cheap, so it depends on what you have. Shall I scratch it?"
"Sounds interesting, let's do it after I hear you say it"
To sum it up briefly,
· Slaves fell without being able to pay their debts due to eating and gambling.
· Has been returned after hurting my husband.
and.... The merchant who bought it when I let him eat it tastes good returned it to me the next day. The only person who answered the question was, "It was bad once, give me my money back." Money back would be the line of a stranded merchant.
Still, it didn't seem important to rebuild it with restorative magic.
"Didn't slaves not do harm to their husbands?
"That's why you want to say it around when it's done. He seemed to realise for real that it was a meal offered rather than a husband. Naturally the collar worked properly after that.... There was an overlap between what my husband had promised to feed me in the first place and 'Here, eat' and offering things. Contract magic works fine, don't worry."
Oh, you gave me permission to scold myself. I don't have a choice.
Around that cornerstone of bonding slaves with contract magic was so important that they came out to the Merchant Guild and used magic props to detect lies, and they looked it up closely. That's everything from the usual clichés to the oral complaints you're good at.
"... but you just can't sell it because you have that background in boulders. Even this one was bought up by Kata of Debt, and I couldn't help disposing of the cheats and...... it doesn't look complaining, it sticks, right? You want to at least reduce the deficit a little bit.... How about that? It's a bargain."
"I see."
It does have good meat, and where it leaves, it pulls in where it leaves and pulls in. My hair is a lot around here. I have slightly reddish blonde hair, and I don't complain about the way it looks, well, from what I've seen, my feet are just good and I don't complain about it. Besides, if I thought I'd use it at the inn reception, it wouldn't be bad if it was neat or big.
No problem if you don't get stuck. You just have to be careful.
"I'd like to hear your opinion in person. What do you say around there?
"We were bought because they gave us yummy mon. Why don't you put that in the house and give me a crude monkey and tell me to eat it? I was hungry expecting you to eat so much yummy mon, I'm curious if it's so yummy? If you were at least full of delicious mon with me, I'd have dealt with you too, wouldn't I?
You're a big slave with a lot of attitude. Hey.
"Meals are more important than lives, and they don't care if you die to eat, yes"
"I see"
I'd do anything to get some sleep, but I didn't know you could die of the same three desires. Yeah, I liked it a lot. Not bad. Cheap feels like a bargain.
"What do you think, Nik? I don't think it's bad."
"My dinner is delicious, so I hope so"
"Heh, yeah Yan! Can we have that delicious meal too?
Said slave interrupting even though he's not questioned. I was leaking my voice all the time about the collar slipping in a little bit. Is dinner that important?
I'll let the manager give me permission and keep talking.
"I don't know if it fits your mouth, but it'll be fine"
"Honma?! If I lied to you, I'd eat you up. The grudge of eating monsters is horrible."
"Oh, let's promise. Instead, will you work properly?
"I like it! Hey, you said you lost a special price - Master Grafa. We can go up to 45 silver coins, right?
"Come on, don't say anything unnecessary! Ah... uh, customer, the, uh"
Oh, my God. He seems like a really troubled kid.
And I'm not retarded either. I perceive this one is willing to buy it and have supported the price to make it instant. I guess I have a good grasp to my own bottom line.
Maybe it's a slaver's setup, but still, if this can be done in acting, that's not bad either.
"Oh, then you can have fifty silver coins"
".................. thank you"
It looked like a dig, so I added five.
